Description The aim of this article is to explain why the logical analysis of natural language is an analytic discipline. A synchronically given language can be conceived as a code, i.e. mapping from expressions to meanings (both modeled logical way). Such functions are already combinatorically given, to put forward meaning of some expression in the respective code is thus an a priori matter. A diachronically given language is then conceived as a mapping from possible worlds and time-moments to codes. To find which code is actually in use, i.e. the aim of linguistic, is thus an a posteriori matter.
